  • Job Spec: Lay Missioner-Evangelist for City of London Parish St Andrew
    City Deanery Job Spec: Lay Missioner-Evangelist for City of London Parish St Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe Prepared by: The Rev. Guy Treweek Wednesday, 29 May 2013 St Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe Corner of Queen Victoria Street & St Andrew’s Hill, London EC4V 5DE T 020 7248 7546 [email protected] ST ANDREW BY THE WARDROBE Executive Summary St Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe wishes to appoint a Lay Missioner-Evangelist to reach out to a large midweek working community. Context To properly understand where this submission fits in achieving St Andrew’s wider strategic aims, it is important that this application be read together with our overarching strategy document, A Growing Vision: Towards a Mission Action Plan (attached). Term Three years. Lay Missioner-Evangelist Job Spec 1 ST ANDREW BY THE WARDROBE Supporting Detail Background St Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe is a parish church in the City of London. It encompasses the area to the south of St Paul’s Cathedral and north of the river Thames. Two underground & mainline stations are in the parish (Blackfriars & City Thameslink) giving massive throughput of City workers (c. 25 million entries & exits in a year). This is expected to increase yet further as Crossrail comes online. The parish contains the northern end of the Millennium Bridge, which is now the largest entry point into the City (overtaking St Paul’s underground station). In the north of the parish, the Carter Lane / Ludgate Hill area is seeing considerable development as a “go to” destination for night-time socialising, with new bars, restaurants and a five-star hotel.

  • Chapter 2 - the Search for William Atterbury's Parents
    William Atterbury (1711-1766) - The Family Patriarch and His Legacy Chapter 2 - The Search for William Atterbury's Parents This work will investigate the ancestry and descendants of a person named William Atterbury, who was born in London, England in 1711 (author's assumed date), who was transported a convict from New Gate Prison to Annapolis Maryland in 1733, and who died in Loudoun County Virginia in about 1766. This William Atterbury was the progenitor of the author's family and of most Atteberrys living in America today. In the pursuit of this research into the William Atterbury family in America the author has found only three other published works to exist on Atterbury families in America: 1. In 1933 L. Effingham de Forest and Anne Lawrence de Forest published a book entitled The Descendants of Job Atterbury.1 That work presents the genealogy of Job Atterbury, who first appeared in American records when some of his children were recorded born in New Jersey starting in 1795. The de Forests represent Job Atterbury to have been the first of that surname to have settled in America. Such assertion is clearly incorrect as there are records of several other earlier Atterburys. This will be the last mention of Job Atterbury and his descendants, as there is no known connection to the William Atterbury family. 2. In 1984 Voncille Attebery Winter, PhD. and Wilma Attebery Mitchell, self published their work entitled The Descendants of William Atterbury, 1733 Emigrant.2 The Winter- Mitchell book culminated many years of research by these William Atterbury descendants, and was the single, most comprehensive document found by the author to have been written on this family.

  • Songs and Music of the City of London: a New Pocket Guide to the City of London’S Contemporary Activities Involving Music in All Its Facets
    June 2021 Dear Clerks to the several City of London Livery Companies, Following the culmination of a two-year project, we are pleased to announce the publication of Songs and Music of the City of London: a new pocket guide to the City of London’s contemporary activities involving music in all its facets. We are delighted that Alderman Sir Andrew Parmley, Lord Mayor of London (2016-17), has written the Foreword. The guide covers education, performance and composition of music, whether in the City’s churches, schools, in the Barbican Centre, on the City’s streets such as during the Lord Mayor’s Show, or through sponsorship by the Livery Companies through education and awards. It also includes the various anthems, songs and sung graces of the City’s Livery Companies. In our research for content, we have been constantly surprised at every turn by such a rich abundance of musical talent, events, venues, and performing groups concentrated in such a small geographic area. In our belief that hitherto no single existing publication has captured the immense array of ways in which the City benefits wider society through the medium of music, the aim of our guide is to fill this gap by means of a concise, accessible guide for all. The publication takes the form of a pocket guide, equally suited to the needs of the tourist, the City worker, and those among the Livery Companies and affiliated organisations who have an interest in the musical events and activities within the City. The material is intended for a generalist audience rather than the music aficionado.

  • 1 Traffic in Corpses: Interment, Burial Fees and Vital Registration In
    Traffic in corpses: interment, burial fees and vital registration in Georgian London Working Paper, 11th August 2010 Jeremy Boulton, Newcastle University1 Sometimes the simplest historical questions are the hardest to answer. One very simple question, of particular interest to historical demographers, is this: can we ever know the true number of people who died in any one locality in any one year? This apparently mundane question is not merely vitally important to demographers, it is of interest to anyone searching for a death record in the past and should also interest the increasing number of scholars studying the social and cultural history of death and dying.2 This may, at first blush, also seem a daft question. Many might assume that any community with a surviving parish register of reasonable quality has a reliable record of all local deaths. This of course would be incorrect: those burying their dead without the rites of the Church of England would be omitted. Many Anglican parish registers also omitted, or recorded only sporadically, „stillborn‟3 children and a proportion of those dying in the first few days of life. The overall rate of under-registration of deaths by Anglican burial registers caused by religious non conformity/non observance and delayed baptism was estimated long ago by Wrigley and Schofield. In sum, at the national level, they estimated that, the number of burials in Anglican registers represented the number of deaths with one hundred percent accuracy until 1640, but that thereafter there was a slow rise in under-registration

  • The Great Fire & the Dyers September 1666
    The Great Fire & the Dyers September 1666 Courtesy The Dyers Company The Fire of London began at night on the 1st September; by the evening of the next day both the Dyers Hall and the Dowgate property were destroyed. There is no record of how individual dyers or Company officials responded to the crisis as it unfolded but the lack of records suggests that there was no hero like the Renter Warden of the Skinners, Mr Foster. He organised the removal of their plate and muniments to successive places of safety even as his own property was burning. The Master of the Tallow Chandlers piled his coach with the Company charter, records and plate and removed it all to Hampstead. There is no memory of similar disinterest among the Dyers but someone certainly was concerned; some records and the beautiful charters survived: perhaps as much as could be hurriedly stuffed into a bag. Any temptation to condemn the senior members of the Company for not doing more should be resisted. Dyers Hall in 1666 was down by the river and close to the ‘true heart of the fire’, on Thames Street. Samuel Pepys awoke at 7am on the 2nd September, the Lords Day, and after various consultations and observations took to the river. The Fire had already reached the Old Swan and travelled very fast along the riverbank, reaching the Steelyard (next to Cannon Street) in an hour. I can imagine a sleepy Beadle or Clerk grabbing what records he could as his wife and children called /Users/mikemathieson/Desktop/Dyers/History : Archivist/The Great Fire 350 years after.docx to him to hurry.
